NPC Charlie

At first, when McWire spoke to the drone, the female hologram reacted in a humorous, if unexpected way. Her eyebrows went up and she blushed as she began, "Um...you...want me to keep you warm?" A second later, the drone had replayed the local conversation and the context became more obvious. With a smile that reflected both relief and understanding, she then added, "Oh! Yes, of course. I'm sorry. Here, let me help you."

A faint orange field appeared around McWire. It went from the floor up to his shoulders and quickly removed the chill, keeping him at about 15.5^oC (60^oF). Her look turned apologetic as she said, "I'm sorry, but I'm limited in the number of fields I can project at one time. If you share this field, it will adjust to fit around two average size people, in close proximity, but it has limitations. If you were creative, you might be able to maximize it to three, but from my understanding, that would be...an uncomfortable topic, as it might suggest an inappropriate lack of personal space."

[OOC: In short, two people can stand in it with barely enough room for each to have their arms crossed, but touching each other. For three, they would have to be huddled tightly and even then, they would pretty much take turns noticing the edge of a shoulder or butt barely nudged out of the field and need to adjust to compensate for the chill getting to that part. It is not quite as embarrassing as needing to crawl into a sleeping bag naked together to share body heat, but the next best thing. I say you should share a big hug, with the smallest person sort of in the middle. Hey, I'm the nice one. We don't even want to talk about what the SM likes to do to characters ]
