Well I did put a
on the end of my statement so NCNC know I'm pulling their leg with a big cheesy grin.
But as ever, If anything, your wisdom brings a smile to my face Lionsbane. -
Rejoice Phixxy, Rejoice!

The lore goes like this BlueDarky;

"I want to take a sample so I can analyse it," said Stephan. "If we can break it down, maybe we could mass produce it. Bring health and happiness to everyone in the world-for a reasonable price of course"
"I'm not concerned about the money", said Marcus.
"Not after regaining my health. But I'm willing to help. What's the problem?".
"I dip the test tube in the water, holding it by a pair of metal tongs. I should be drawing a perfect sample, clear and golden. But, when I remove the tube from the stream and cap it, there's always a tiny black spot, some little impurity. Try as I might, I can't get it out. And, no matter how many times I try, even corking the tube in the stream itself, that damned impurity always appears."
"Let me try," said Marcus. Bottle after bottle, tube after tube, he immersed in the water. Each time he did, the liquid he captured appeared perfectly pure. Yet, within a minute, a black blotch had somehow appeared in the sample.
"'One drop remains pure,'" said Marcus. "Thats what the three sisters said. I suspect that's what we're witnessing here, Stephan. Remove more than a drop from the fountain and the water seems to decay."
"Thats Insane," said Stephan, his face flushing crimson.
"A drop? How can you measure a single drop? Scientifically, that makes no sense. Water isn't sentient. Its not alive. How can a stream know if I take a drop or a gallon?".
"Perhaps," said Marcus, "science doesn't have all the answers."

So it seems we are both right, The drop in the Magi offices, If pure, is just a curiosity. It is far too small to affect anyone, (Marcus and Stephan drank handfuls of the pure source Nectar to affect their transformations), It cannot be replicated and the Wellspring is destroyed.
It seems finding a small amount of tainted water in a surviving crack or pool on Praxidae or time-travelling back for a gift of tainted water from The Furies would be the only way to fit Incarnates into the existing lore in my opinion.
Or they could just retcon. -
If its Nectar, If its removed from the source spring - Its tainted, and therefore less powerful than the wellspring waters.
-
As things stand, no-One will be be drinking from the well as it was destroyed in the events following Marcus and Stephans' encounter with it in 'The Web of Arachnos' book.
There is always time-travel to get around that, but its not a good idea to have a City of Incarnates as powerful as Statesman and Lord Recluse, The CoX universe has to maintain a sense of focus after all.
In that vein of thinking, The best way in my opinion would be the process of drinking 'tainted Nectar' via a very small pool left surviving and cut off from the source - (or if time-travel is involved) not being allowed to drink from the Well, but a small amount of tainted nectar awarded from The Furies to open up what I hope becomes an Incarnates patron powerpool. -

Translation please! -
Incarnete Archetypes have been suggested before many times, however I like your idea of (what I assume) is a kind of Patron re: chosing among Gods or Titans. That would give more variety. They may have to retcon a little of the Well of the Furies lore regarding the Gods, but your idea sounds fun.

Too generic Cherry, although I'll add those to the motto thread for my kittenz t-shirt designs
There was a nice little comeback from Falcon Fire, subverting his graffiti and calling him a nimmer -
It looks great as graffiti, I've added an arrow and positioned the text as if he's replying to him...
Thats what we need! - Think who you all will be facing off against, old rivalries and wind each other up.

I see the good ole trashtalkin has started!, I tell you what...
Post your trashtalking and wind-ups on the S4 trashtalk thread and I'll add them as graffiti to the official poster.
(try and keep it fairly clean)... If its too obsene obviously I won't be able to add it. -
Let the trashtalk commence;
(Try not to cross the line boys 'n' girls, if its too obsene I won't be able to add it to a graffitied version of the official poster for everyones enjoyment.)
You can either just type your message below (in which case it will be featured as a default typeface or if you want your own handwriting/wind-up doodles featured on the poster - send a jpeg to mothers_love@hotmail.co.uk -

Well, you know how it is, Sapphic dear. You're out at night, looking for kicks, someone's passing around the acorns.... - that and I genuinely was looking from the left. -

That little emoticon had always puzzled me, but i get it now!, when you tilt your head to the right it looks like a little heart! awww...
Up till now I was honestly tilting my head to the left and thinking it looked like a little pair of squirrel's knackers.
