You step out of the TARDIS, presumably with Peri. Celica follows close behind.
You're on the edge of a wide-open plain. Green grass sprawls for miles, complete with a few well-worn trails. You're right at a three-way intersection. To the north, you can see a large town complete with stone walls, a castle, and a moat filled with sparkling, clean water. To the east, a large forest. To the south, you can see a small village. You think you can make out some barns, and maybe some crop fields?
A man in a fancy outfit, with black hair and a vaguely sinister mustache, is a bit to the north and walking towards the town. He doesn't seem to have noticed you.
You note that Celica is pointing some kind of weird pistol at his back already.

Whisper to Celica.
"So do you know this guy, or...?"

"Nyet. But I can sense a... 'ow you say, dark aura coming from him," Celica says.
As if sensing her words, the man stops, fumbles around in his pocket, and produces an apple to eat as he walks. Probably so he can look like even more of an asshole.

"Well before you attack him just because he's suspicious, let's find out more about him."
Brings up the UI and read the suspicious guy's info. Don't try to edit him since that would alert him that something's going on, just read. In particular look for info such as name, alignment, and if any edits have been made to him.

Since it's tied to your editing, you'll need to get close to him first. 'Normal conversation' close. Though I'm not going to make you knock people out to analyze them.

Celica lowers her pistol, but continues glaring.

Lock up the TARDIS and start walking towards the guy.

You approach the totally innocuous man that Celica doesn't like.
He hears you coming and turns around. He makes a dramatic sweep of his arms. "Hello, travelers." The sweeping motion flaps his cloak back enough to reveal a sword before it swings back into place. That may have been intentional. "I didn't see you on the road back there."
You quickly and subtly check his stats.
Horatio
Lawful-Evil

"Yeah, we're just passing by. So, anywhere interesting you're going?"
Discretely pass the info about him to Peri and Celica in the form of card-sized UI windows.

"I assume you were also pulled into this world against your will, then. How annoying," Horatio complains. "At this rate, I'll never get home."
He turns and points to the castle town. "Last time I made for the nearest castle and it worked out well enough."
Celica stares at the UI, a confused, blank expression on her face.

"Maybe it'd be best for us to head there too. Thanks for the tip, and best of luck on your travels."

Horatio nods. "Stay safe. So long as you stick to the trail you should be fine, but I saw some monsters in the fields earlier." He gives you a small wave, then turns and starts heading towards the castle town.
Once he's out of earshot, Celica turns to you, looking at the UI panel. "I do not know how to read, Monsieur. Father thought it would be dangerous to teach me."

"Huh... alright then, it says that he's "lawful evil". And to explain what that means since I don't know how familiar you are with the alignment system, Lawful Evil tend to be part of some evil empire or something similar and usually only perform evil actions because they believe that it's for the greater good or to maintain peace and order, sort of a "the ends justify the means" mentality. Not necessarily the nicest people which is why we're not walking to town with him, but also way less dangerous than Neutral Evil which are purely self-serving or Chaotic Evil who just want to watch the world burn. That combined with the fact that it sounds like he's more interested in getting home than causing trouble are why we aren't bothering him, but it wouldn't hurt to head towards the same town a little ways behind him. If he's not up to something then it means he just gave us a helpful tip, and if he is causing trouble when we get there then we can intervene. As for the other thing it said, his name is Horatio."
Start walking towards the same town once Horatio is far enough away.

"Hm. How can you know so much about a person so easily, Monsieur?" Celica asks.
You proceed towards the town. The city is surrounded by a large wall with several gates. Guards meet you at the southern gate. Some of them look mostly human, though with slightly pointed ears. They're dressed in scale mail and helmets that hide most of their face, and carrying large spears. The others are more rounded, short, barely half your height. They have bulbous, mushroom-shaped... growth on their head? Or maybe they're hats. You aren't sure. These ones are also carrying spears.
"HOLD IT!" one of the short ones yells in a high-pierced, shrieking voice. "Hi! Welcome to the Mushroom Castle Town! Who're you and why're you here!?"
It looks like Horatio got through just fine...
You notice a young woman riding towards the town on horseback, coming from the south. She's far enough away that you can get in without ever crossing her path.

The mushroom people are definitely Toads, and considering the second half of the name for this place I'd say it's a fair bet that the pointy-eared people are Hylians.
"We're just wandering travelers, we haven't really decided why we're here yet other than that it was a convenient place to start. Is there anyone we can talk to, find out about some local problems we could help fix?"

"If you're looking for trouble to fix, check the quest board in the town square. If you're looking for rumors, you can always ask around the merchant district, just past the square. Or, if you could arrange an audience with the princess..."
The woman on the horse arrives, nods at the guards, and trots in ahead of you.
Move to Town Square.
