[Totally rolled a d7 to see if he'd been set ablaze. You got lucky this time, strawman.]
As intentional as it might have seemed for the Scarecrow to dodge Carter's scurrying by falling on his rear after a few steps backward, it was simply a startled reaction to the sharp crack from the newcomer. Wait, had that been a spark? The flame was gone before the Scarecrow could be sure, but it had certainly looked that way.
He blinked- no, he was definitely seeing things. What he wasn't imagining was the way the stranger was talking, which seemed more threatening by the second. The thought that he might have been bewitched just as Mele had crossed his mind, but was interrupted as Carter declared him to be a robot- not just any robot, but an evil one. The Scarecrow knew very little about robots, aside from that it was a term used to describe mechanical beings like the Tin Man. The stranger looked human enough, though. Perhaps it was a human skin, much like his own.
"He certainly doesn't look like a robot," the Scarecrow said, gathering himself from the floor and moving to Carter's side. "He might be one of the brainwashed patients, though."
