I hope that this is acceptable in method and in timing! The After School Numbers Club intend to explore the mines on their own tomorrow (without encountering the Sage, of course). Requesting clearance on the first Echo!

And I apologize for the waffling - the second Echo is subject to change. I'll indeed know better than to request Echoes distantly in advance in the future, believe me. X_X

But in regards to settling on that second one, if it isn't a bother for me to ask here, is it possible for Echoes to be delayed - for example, could a reincarnate see the Sage but not receive the effects of an Echo for a few hours later? Or would it only be possible if at all depending on the nature of the Echo?
