Story about a genius hacker named in a world full of ability users, who always views the universe...
???: Welcome, ladies and ladiesn't! The name's Owlbert, and I'll be your host for today! Our first, and maybe last, 'Keeping up with the Stray Dogs' show.
Editor: Owlbert...
Owlbert: Oh yes, m-my apologies!

Owlbert: Ahem! Good evening, citizens of Yokohama! Welcome, to our first, perhaps last, 'Keeping up with the Stray Dog' Special Program!
Owlbert: For this hacker on the run, work is play. Today's star, is Yokohama's number-one hacker, Silver Wolf!
Owlbert (Placed wings over eyes, scared): H-hold up! Someone's breaching the studio?!
The portal popped open and Silver Wolf fell onto the couch.
Silver Wolf peace sign: It's breached - past tense. Did someone mention my name?
Owlbert: Y-you, wait! Don't kill me, the director wrote that line-
Silver Wolf: Relax, someone told me you're holding a special program and I was the guest so pardon me.
Owlbert: R-regardless! Seems like one of our guests arrived early ahaha...Our next guest, one can call him...erm, a literary genius, or a walking disaster zone, depending on who you ask. It's the one and only, Dazai Osamu of the Armed Detective Agency! looks nervously towards the entrance Dazai-san, are you there?
Owlbert: (Peers even more nervously towards the entrance, his voice cracking slightly) Dazai-san, are you there? The silence is...uncharacteristic. Maybe he got lost chasing after falling angels again? (Mutters to himself) Though, knowing him, he probably tripped over his bandages on the way here.
A long, dramatic pause hangs in the air, punctuated only by the nervous drumming of Owlbert's wings.
Owlbert: (clears throat, trying to regain some composure) Well, then, perhaps we should move on until- (suddenly, a voice cuts through the tension)
Dazai: (From outside the studio, in a sing-song tone) Wheeeere am I? Is this the afterlife? It's a little too brightly lit for my tastes...
Silver Wolf (face palmed): As per usual...
Owlbert: (whispering frantically to the editor) Maybe we should cut to commercial? Stall for time?
Suddenly, a figure dramatically flops onto the empty seat next to Silver Wolf. It's Dazai.
Dazai: (Dramatically sighs) Ah, the land of the living. How I've missed you...not really.
Owlbert: (Visibly relieved) D-Dazai-san! You're alright! We were starting to worry.
Dazai: (Playfully leans towards Owlbert) Worry? Perish the thought, my dear Owlbert. A little entrance never hurt anyone. Though, perhaps you could dim the lights a tad? A gloomy atmosphere suits me so much better, don't you think?
