Does whistling wake him up? Because Seymour is whistling the chorus of Johnny B. Goode, and dragging his pushbroom behind him.

He stops as he passes Bob's table. Clearly he's wondering the question asked in the entrance post.

[mend_and_defend]

Bob is way too exhausted for anything that simple to wake him.

[skidrowseymour]

If he were in this position, would he want someone to do the same? Seymour thinks for a minute.

Nervously, he clears his throat. "Um, Bob. Hey!" This is said as marginally louder than normal speaking volume. He was whistling louder than this.

[mend_and_defend]

He mumbles something, but doesn't wake up.

[skidrowseymour]

Maybe he needs coffee. He probably does. Seymour is at the Bar and halfway back (he ordered it with cream and sugar), when he realizes that maybe blue people don't drink coffee.

Seymour looks at the cup, and sets it down a nearby table. He approaches Bob the rest of the way. Okay, time to be brave.

He gently pokes Bob with the handle of his broom.

[mend_and_defend]

"Five more nanos, Mom..."

[skidrowseymour]

Poke, poke, poke.

[mend_and_defend]

Finally, Bob lifts his head and blinks blearily at Seymour.

"Wha?"

[skidrowseymour]

Seymour rests his broom by his side, looking rather sheepish.

"Um...d'you want some coffee?"

[mend_and_defend]

"Coffee?" Bob blinks. "That's a User thing, right? I can't eat that."

[skidrowseymour]

"Oh. Uh, sorry. Guess this is my cup, then." He picks it up, but doesn't drink from it yet.

Instead, he adjusts his glasses. "You should...probably sleep in a room? That doesn't look like the most comfortable position."

Waking Bob up made total sense a moment before. Now it just seems stupid.

[mend_and_defend]

"I didn't come here to sleep," Bob points out. "I came down to look for--"

Suzi and Whistler.

Who could have gone through here a dozen times while he was napping.

"...oh this is bad."

[skidrowseymour]

It doesn't take much to make Seymour nervous. "W-why?" He clutches his broom more tightly.

[mend_and_defend]

Instead of answering, he looks around the room frantically. "You haven't seen Suzi or Whistler come through here, have you??"

[skidrowseymour]

"Never seen Whistler before, but, uh, not Suzi, no." Tone reaching panicked, "Something happen to 'em?"

[mend_and_defend]

"I have no idea. That's why I'm looking." He looks up at Seymour, concerned. "You saw the sign, right? About the soy products?"
