When you want to ask someone where they disappeared to (literally or figuratively), which usage is more standard?:

1. Куда ты пропал?
2. Где ты пропал?

The first one makes more sense to me, since пропасть is a motion verb and should require куда. But I think I hear the second one more.

Also, do people use the imperfective пропадал or the perfective пропал? Or does it depend on context?

Сколько лет сколько зим.
Где шляешься. или шлялся
Ну как ты бродяга?
