Light, that'd be a silly but somehow totally serious conversation. Good mental image fodder, at the very least!
And yeah, they really do - cutting a character down to their core just to figure out how they'd grow and change with different circumstances while still being themselves is something I'v come to really enjoy about the AU process. Not just that, but figuring out how all those little changes ripple outward to make big changes... it's really fascinating, even if I'll never play even 1/4 of the things I brainstorm.
I can't speak for everyone else, but I'm usually intimidated by new canons if I almost pick up a muse for them. New Muse Jitters, if you will. It's sad that characters like Noel don't get played so often, because I *adored* him in XIII-2 - I really need to finish XIII-3 for prime heartbreak, I think.
Definitely down for somehow meeting - sparring buddies is a thing that should probably happen. :D
