Bonding Gone Weird

It was a 'bonding' day for the Arcobaleno, aka 'stay in the Arcobaleno Mansion together' day. But no one showed up except Fon, Skull and Uni. The rest might've forgotten, we're too busy, simply didn't care or see the profit of doing such a thing.

That was when Kawahira showed up at the Mansion's doorsteps. Skull opened the door and started feeling dread the moment he allowed the man inside. He briefly considered slamming the door into the guy's face before realising that even just knocking on the door had been a courtesy for them when the man could morph practically everywhere.
As such the only thing he could actually do, was be civil, for now.

"I'm honestly surprised this place is still standing. I expected it to be less than rubbish by the time I went to check up on how your all doing. This is the first time your coming together after being re-grown after all" The ancient Mist looked around, eying them all at least once.
"Either my ears are busted or their all sleeping in. I doubt both cases, so why is it so quiet?"

Fon answered the question with slight precaution and faux politeness, his smile stretching in a way that's inheritedly dangerous: "They haven't shown up yet, neither announced their absence."

Kawahira nodded at the Storm, returning the same politeness.

"Why are you here to 'check up on us'?" Uni couldn't grasp the man's motives for doing such a thing.

He smiled sincerely and Skull's feeling didn't worsen, it doubled.
"Why! The Strongest Seven wouldn't be Seven if you all couldn't get along, trust and rely on each other! I know how you're about being One-Person Army's but I'm not looking for one person to do the work alone, even if you no longer carry the burden. So, knowing your guys' behaviors~"

5 Mistflame-portals opened up in front of Kawahira, each spitting out one of the missing members that consisted of Verde, Viper, Reborn, Colonello and Lal Mirch. Skull decided that whatever would happen in the next few seconds would decide his luck for the foreseeable time he was in the mansion, so he went for the kitchen window to escape it all together. Trying to go through with it however, proved to be useless. A barrier of strong and concentrated Mist was cast around the whole Mansion.

'Just Perfect' he slumped onto the floor like a petulant child that didn't get its wish to, a show of his dissatisfaction and discomfort.

Meanwhile the new arrivals first saw the movement of crybaby Skull, nothing new, but then they saw Kawahira and got ready to break his head in and shoot heart.

"Now now" he placated them, clearly to no effect "you're here to bond and learn about each other. I've been watching you and I know that you're lacking, especially in regards to an important member."

They gave him their most annoyed/ irritated (and slightly) confused look. Annoyed/ irritated because they don't like him bossing them around and that he spied and stalked them, again, as well as planning their fates.

Confused... well it was obvious that they didn't have a clue who he was talking about... Skull didn't even register in their minds, he was pretty much like air for them after all. Not much they need to know to see how it works. Like breathing is easily learned and people start doing it on Autopilot, until it's like nothing to them, but still there when they think about it and remember its existence and purpose.

Except they didn't know Skull's purpose. They don't really dig deeper than what they need to know about their 'accomplices'.

"So you're going to be stuck together until you all get along better. Good Luck!" Kawahira glanced at Skull, sure that the others wouldn't miss the action, before disappearing.
