#the kinds of things that some would think are meaningless fluff quests but actually they're imparative to understanding the characters

Oh geez let me see if I still have some of my notes from it. I wrote a story about it but I wanna do a rewrite since I'm not too proud of how it turned out (pushes aside my Opera Omnia OC/canon fics I get distracted by)

But basically the bg is that Setzer's a gentleman thief by night under the alias Blackjack (because of course that's his name) while he robs the wealthy of their excess materials and sells it to the Auction House for fundings to create an airship (that hasn't happened quite yet for plot reasons). The long story short is he's "hired" by the Empire to steal something from the King of Figaro, and he has to figure out how to rob the castle. Good thing he's able to befriend a nice good looking young man who enjoys his company, has long hair let down, and happens to be an engineer for the castle that knows all the tricks to it (clueless).

Oh my god, that's genius. I absolutely love this concept and would love to read it if/when you finish and are comfortable sharing! I'm always craving more edosetzu content, they just work so well together as characters.
