I'm back only for a moment. Due to unforseen circumstances, I've been away far longer than I wanted to be, and I will have to leave again in just a moment. You guys may be doing this alone. T.T I really wanted to be here when we did this... I'll try to get back as fast as possible.

So, what is the riddle status?

There's only one man in charge of the puzzle, and that man hasn't posted yet. There's a whole day ahead. Be patient, guys.

You mean a woman?

Of course I do. I'm not sure it's applicable, though (for me, "woman" is associated with more of a middle-aged one), and saying "human" is just ridiculous. I may be wrong, but whatever. Let's not offtop further.

Don't worry, people, I am still going down there. I just have to wait for my ride to finish watching his football team get their butts kicked.

Ah, take your time, 'snot like reality's collapsing or anything.

I kid, I kid.

Never fear, the Take Your Time trope is played straight in this game.

At least, we THINK it is...

This could easily be like Minish Cap.

Did I make it back on time? The printing presses at the local paper broke down, so I had to do three Sunday paper routes just now as opposed to at 3:00 AM like I normally do them.

Accela hasn't not been to the statue yet.

Though she will be. She's just waiting on her sports-oholic ride to be free of his football-watching duties.

Ah, good, so I haven't missed it yet.

Waiting for Accela is so boring!

EDIT: CRAP, I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT

I'm here, guys! Uploading the photos I took. I didn't see any message in a bottle or anything like that, and there were two sets of "six fish swimming towards the sea". Took photos of both sets, the plaque, the artist dedication, and a plaque on the side rails one of the fish was pointing towards.

Are you still on-site? Mr. A implied that there would e an object waiting there for you.

Here are the pics.

I'm still close by, but we'd have to pay for parking again. I saw no object nearby.

Wait, ride just informed me he saw something. Going back.

OK, beginning analysis. I hope we get what we need.

HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS FOLKS

THINGS ARE GETTING INTERESTING

I think the fish look kind of hollow from the photo. Maybe there's something behind one of them. The riddle seemed to emphasize the fish swimming towards the plaque.

Understood. A close examination of the fish is required, as well as the area around the statue. Make sure to sight down the line that the fish aiming for the plaque is taking and check the ground/whatever it is pointing towards.

it could in a hollow space behind (or inside) the fish in question. or maybe in the sand near the statue where the fish looking at, but then again I have no idea

The riddle specifically referred to the fish swimming towards the plaque. Could you take a picture of that fish?

Yeah, check the fish specifically (around it, in it even if possible), it makes sense considering the riddle's content now that I think about.
