Nonsense, it's a great idea!

Cost (excuse the c/p): whatever limb or part of the body that touches the dark water becomes fleetingly 'contaminated': for four-eight hours (your choice), it will feel as if that body part is assailed by hundreds of sharp needles from within. The pain suffered will range from severe discomfort to spells of acute pain that no magic or healing can alleviate. It will feel as if something is inside the body part, stretching it out, filling to assume its shape from within and shifting bones and flesh in the process. This pain fades gradually.

Outwardly, there will be no visible bodily change, and your character will suffer no long-term biological damage as a result of this episode. The brief contamination leaves no sign of possession, although the body part will feel 'death-touched' or reek of death for up to three days, to any necromancer your character encounters, or to anyone sensitive to life and death energies.

Dragons will be greatly reluctant to interact with your character in this contamination period, but you can assume they'll allow (very rocky) transport, if you need a fast getaway.

Please check in and we can adjust the above, if any of it touches on any personal triggers for you — definitely do not want you feeling forced to play out something that makes you uncomfortable.

Gain: Daenerys can see a memory glimpse from the perspective of someone or something in the pilot's seat. Its hands seem to transit between human flesh and the coarse, tattered material of burlap. Aerial instructions ('turn east,' 'keep at height,' 'expect obstacle near...' ) can be heard murmured from behind in a staggered, mechanical voice that says to prepare for landing — before a blinding light erupts from the west and the Relint begins to rattle down in what was decidedly not its planned landing. A guttural, croaked sound previously shared on the network can be heard from behind the viewer. ( content warning: the iconic Grudge movie sound, for reference ). The Relint crashes.
