That's a  bit of a right turn.  Once again, I'm tempted to bring in
aliens at this point or something equally bizarre.  :-)

BTW, there's something similar at
http://lojban.org/texts/original/lojban_story/story/story.pl

(which I noticed when I went looking for it was broken; .u'u)

It mails the main list when people contribute.

Anyways:

.i .y. ki'a ru'e xu le turni cu stidi lo nu mi na terpa le catra

Umm, huh?  Does the mayor suggest I not fear the killer?

.i go'i .i le turni cu cusku lo se du'u lo pulji cu ba zi kavbu cy

Yes.  The mayor says the police will soon capture him/her.


Heh.  In the first version I had "pulji" instead of "police" above,
which was somewhat unhelpful.  :-)  "lo pulji" appear rather a lot
in the most recent chapter of la nicte cadzu, so it's a word I know
pretty well now.
