Can the marker tell the time?

"What do you mean 'tell the time'?" she asks with confused look on her face.

Grabbing her phone you check the current time. It reads 8:55 AM. "So instead of effectively setting a timer, which COUNTS DOWN or UP the set amount of time, I want to see if it will WAIT until a specific time and then execute, like setting an alarm clock".

Reaching over again with the marker in hand you begin writing on her arm, and as soon as you've finished, Stacey explodes into an orgasm. You quickly snatch up her phone and check the time again. 8:57 AM. _'What?' you think as you look down and read the words you just wrote on her arm. WILL ORGASM AT NINE AM. 'Is the time on her phone wrong maybe, no the words are still there so its not executing the words'_.

You grab her arm and strike through the words and immediately Stacey's orgasm begins to subside. Standing, you move over to the sink and grab a washcloth, still trying to figure out what happened. 'Maybe it was too close to the time I set and its not super precise. No, the words are still there. If it works similar to the other tests, it should auto erase itself once she starts to orgasm'.

Returning to Stacey, you wipe the words from her arm with a few gentle passes. "That orgasm felt a little weird babe" Stacey says, looking up at you as you clean her arm.

"How so, It didn't hurt you did it?" you reply sitting back down.

"No, it was good. I'm OK. Uuummmm.........it was like, I don't know, stacking or something. I kept feeling that first burst or wave of pleasure, over and over until you crossed it out, and then it was just normal." She responds looking at you.

"Stacking?" you repeat, mulling it word over your mind. 'So to stack is to add on top off, so how does that work. She came straight away, meaning the magic detected it was or thought it was nine AM; and then she didn't stop until the words were cancelled, and then she came down like normal meaning it was only one orgasm. I would assume with it written the same as the other other tests, that the writing would disappear, but it didn't.'

"What are you thinking Finn?" Stacey asks, dragging you away from your thoughts.

"It's not making sense to me why it wouldn't work. Theoretically its no different from the timer test, except we'r.........". You stop as you realize something. 'Ah you dumb-ass' you think mocking your self internally.

"It's Five O'clock somewhere" you say exasperatingly. Stacey looks at you, clearly confused.

"I think it's not working because its detecting that its nine AM somewhere else, not here where we are." you explain. "Uuhh, there are time-zones that divide the world, it's nine AM here, but its eight AM an hour to the west; therefore its eight AM and nine AM at the same time, just in different locations."

"That's just confused me even more Finn".

"It seems it can't tell the time, because it doesn't know the time where it is, but it can count it. Does that make sense?" you simplify, picking up your pad again to add to your notes.

"I still don't get it babe. Biology was my science of choice, not physics or chemistry or whatever it is." Stacey says, clearing the table and moving to the sink. "How do you think of this stuff anyway?"

"You can thank my comic strips babe. I spent two days trying to figure out how a time paradox would work and went down a rabbit hole about a month ago." you answer, finishing your addition to the pad.

Magic Marker Features:

General:

• The marker can affect non living/sentient objects - more testing needs to be done to find limitations.
• If the words are damaged/broken/struck through, the effect is destroyed/discontinued - Confirmed on sentient and inanimate targets.

Time related:

• The marker appears to keep track of time from the moment the marker leaves the subject - can count time.
• The marker can make an effect last a specific determined time.
• The marker can detect the time, but not relative to its location. It cannot be set a time (like 7 PM) as its always that time (7 PM) to it.
