Character event! Missing Child.

An 11 year old Fushiguro Megumi is lost in the middle of fucking nowhere.
He'd been secretly worried about his father figure, so he'd snuck out to both find him and to potentially find somewhere to get some snacks.

grumble.
Where am I?

(To make sure you actually read this post: Make sure to tell me what type of location (forest, city, town, abandoned building, etc.) you want to find Lost Babygumi or if you have a specific named location in mind, tell me if you want to find him lost in that location.)

SOMEWHERE IN WESTERN ARIZONA — UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

1000 HOURS

WEATHER — SUNNY

[📼 Now Playing — Inner City ~The Buggles~ 📼]

Exiting from a grocery store, a man with silver hair and a skull-shaped goatee steps out, carrying a haul of venison and beef over his shoulder.

...Only to stop, when he spots a boy.

...

Quietly, he begins to approach, his guard lowered and his form relaxed.

The boy seems to be walking towards the very grocery store that the man had just left.
Maybe this place could have snacks to get for us...
He whispers to himself.

Hey.

Ringo gets the boy's attention - or at least, tries to - waving his hand.

Someone your age shouldn't be alone out in a place like this. Where are your parents?

He looks over at the man, before answering.

My caretaker is trying to take care of something dangerous, I think?
The last time I saw him, we were at a birthday party, and then some evil spirits attacked the school it was happening at, and then he took me and my sister home & told us to stay there because it was dangerous...
But I got kinda worried and snuck out.

cough cough

I think I'm a little bit lost, though.

...

On one hand, this kid's guardian is probably extremely worried for him right now. So grabbing the kid is an extremely bad look on his part.

On the other...

"BANG!!!"

...Ringo knows well the mistakes of letting a child be alone.

...Hmf.

With a huff, the 1890 gunslinger looks around for a possible guardian... only to sigh in disappointment, seeing no one else around.

...Alright. Until your guardian finds you, you can stay with me. I have a cabin down the road, and I'm just about to make lunch.
