Píki lun, mausku.
[ˈpi.ki ˈlun, ˈmaos.ku]
píkiwhen lú-en,see-prox, maus-ku.say-1.

"Piki lun" is a noun phrase, not an adverbial phrase. It could be the subject or object of a sentence, but to get the meaning desired for this sentence, it needs to be the object of a preposition.

Hi lun, mausku.
[çi ˈlun, ˈmaos.ku]
hiwhere lú-en,see-prox, maus-ku.say-1.

This might make sense, but since it's talking specifically about time, pe piki would probably be used instead.
