asquest

Partially askew and partially on a quest. Particularly helpful when talking about chaotic DND characters going on adventures for no particular reason. Can be used to describe the situation when someone doesn't know what they're doing or where they are going but somehow manages to kinda fuck things up and make it an exciting adventure (of sorts)

This is such an asquest.
