[THIS TAKES PLACE IN THE PIRATE’S BAY MAP]

While running away from C00lkidd, Builderman strayed too close to the edge of the map, and upon being hit by a projectile, was sent toppling over the edge and into the water. As he landed in the water with a loud splash, he began to sink. But he didn’t even try to swim back up. He just let his mind wander.

’… I know I’ll come back. Even so. I’ve always hated the feeling of drowning the most.’

He would close his eyes. The water was cold. It stung his eyes.

‘The feeling of helplessness as the water drags you down. The feeling of not being able to breathe. The fear, knowing that no matter how much you kick and scream..’

’.. no one can hear you.’

’Even if you manage to swim back to the surface, the thought of it never fully leaves your head.’

‘… will anyone even notice Im gone?’

The water was dark, and the surface of it barely visible.

Everything was silent for a while. Before all sound came rushing back. Builderman could feel someone shaking him, along with two voices, though muffled by the water in his ears.

“Builderman? Hello?? A-..are you okay?!” 007n7 was whisper-shouting, sounding both panicked and worried, his hands gripping Builderman’s shoulders.

“SHIT. CHANCE— GO GET ELLIOT!” Shedletsky would shout, his shout sounding both shocked and panicked.
