I do believe the seconds that are given at any time by livecode are timezone agnostic (utc?) but livecode uses your system's settings to do conversions.
For instance, the seconds livecode spits out for me at eleven pm of the 15th in the central standard timezone would put the same second number as the 16th at midnight in the eastern time zone.
