Dr. Ink and The Time Log

I just used the word "Time Log" in an e-mail to someone and started laughing this morning. What the fuck is a time log? Is it some mystical, merliny, fuckin' Dungeons and Dragons tree branch that allows sorcerers to cast a time spell in LARP matches? Are they called matches? What would you call something where everyone gets dressed up in costumes and goes out into the forest with plastic swords and cardboard shields and ping pong balls and then actively pretends? Oh, shit I totally know what you call that - STUPID.

So, anyway, I'm adding a Time Log to my children's story about (inside joke alert) Dr. Ink Fast and his Dr. Ink Fast Crew. Dr. Ink is an octopus who walks upright on two legs and has a Ph.D in ball point pen production using reusable materials. He suffers an unmentionable accident while creating a new type of ball point pen and seeks vengeance against those that he feels caused his accident. By the end of the story he realizes that it was his fault the whole time and he totally blamed everyone else erroneously.

I haven't figured out if the time log will be Dr. Ink's adversary or some kind of secret weapon. Perhaps he can use the time log at the end of the book after he has made a mess of everything to go back in time and fix stuff. That will send a message to young children that it's okay if you fuck up real bad as long as you can go back in time and undo everything until your family starts slowly disappearing from a Polaroid picture because that is the true test in time travel. Never travel back in time without a polaroid picture of your family. Pro tip.
