"More ponies..."

The stare that Logan gave to every innocent soul that cheerfully passed by was enough to fill them from head to hooves with fear. As usual, he hated everything he saw. From more colours to more life to more ponies. Maybe it's because he's so jealous that he cannot experience a life as happy as what he has seen, after all he only seems to know pain and anger. That's something that doesn't seem to mix with these magical creatures.

Logan is only now just beginning to realise that he will likely never find a human, let alone a fellow mutant, in the world he is on. Which, of course, is not making him happy. But when is he ever happy?

I'm getting deja vu. Every town I walk to is going to be scared of me at this point.

"All this colour is making me feel sick." He murmured to himself. Logan really isn't someone you'd enjoy being around is he? But, can you blame him after his life of pain and anger? I guess he knows he is a pretty dull person if rainbows and ponies don't make him feel even slightly happy.

A random thought popped into Logan's head. He was thinking about Ponyville and the inhabitants back there. After his encounter with Rose, maybe none of the ponies would be scared anymore. Maybe he could return IF absolutely necessary. However, he can remember pissing off Twilight and Applejack.

As he was walking, he noticed the innocent-looking oncoming unicorn who appears to be out for a stroll. He approaches the mare and opens his mouth to speak.

"Hey, Blossom Butt." Logan shouted. Probably not the best way to get some pony's attention. The mare gave a response of a raised eyebrow, with an 'are you talking to me?' look on her face and a hint of fear just from seeing Logan. "Where the heck are all the people?" He asked.

"Uh... People? Do you mean ponies?" She questioned, looking even more confused, if that was possible.

"No, I mean people. I'm talking about humans, dumbass!" Logan informed, seemingly frustrated.

"Um... Humans? Why? Are you a human?"

Logan nods.

"Well, we at least look the same. But I'm very different."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Of course you don't. No one here is any fucking help!" Logan exclaims. Now he's angry. Again. "Leave, get on with your life before you become my next meal."
The mare hurriedly scuttled off back the way she came.

Logan was serious. He's had just about enough of the world he is on and is starting to lose his shit. Though he probably already lost his shit long ago. He continued to walk forwards in hope that, even though there are no humans, he will find some form of help, despite that already being proven quite difficult.
Inside yet another town filled with technicolour horses, he is avoided by all who have seen him. It's now no surprise, it has become the norm that people... Rather ponies, avoid him. After all, the only ponies who have actually seen a human before are Twilight and Starlight. Yet Logan is still very different from them.

I really need to get a map or something...

Having a map will solve a couple problems, which would calm him down a little bit. So, he searches around for a store (not that they're particularly hard to find) to get a map to help him find his way around better, not thinking that he'll likely have to pay.
It's not long before he finds a store and enters it and, very unusually, the cashier, who is a large stallion, behind the counter doesn't seem to cower in fear, unlike every other pony he has met. That catches Logan's interest.

"Hey, bub. Have you got any maps I could use." Logan asked.

"A map of the town?" The cashier wondered.

"The town, the country, I don't care."

"Uh, sure. Yup, here you go. A map of Equestria. That'll be one bit."

"One bit? The fuck are you talking about? Is that your currency or something?"

"Uh, yes."

"You've got to be fucking kidding me! Can't I just have it for free? I'm in desperate need of it."

"I'm sorry buddy, but you gotta pay." The cashier insisted.

Rather then spending the next ten minutes negotiating with the Stallion, Logan decided to go through this the risky way. He held out his right fist and stared at the cashier, extending his adumantium claws. Immediately, the poor cashier cowered in fear. Logan proceeded to place his claws against the neck of the cashier just gently enough so it wouldn't pierce the skin. Whilst staring into his eyes, Logan swiped the map, and whilst he was able to he smashed open the cash register, collecting every bit he could carry.

"I'm not normally a thief, but I am a killer." He told the cashier. "If you come after me, these claws will appear out the other side of your neck. Understand?"

The cashier mouthed the word 'yes'. Logan retracted his claws and exited the store. That was a lot more difficult than it should have been.

All that for a fucking map. At least I'm loaded now.

Now finally with something to tell him where he is and where to go, Logan is now back on the streets of the town, still getting a couple glares from ponies here and there. He got the map and started looking over it to get as sense of direction.

"Damn. This place is enormous for such pathetic small creatures." Logan says, "And there are a bunch of knock-offs of places back home. Manehattan? Fillydelphia? Baltimare? Are you kidding me?!"

He continues to scan over the map, observing the number of different towns, cities, mountains, forests, jungles and strange places that he wouldn't even think of going to. He could head back the way he came to Ponyville, the ponies there shouldn't be terrified of him anymore after that conversation with Rose. Or he could keep going forward and end up in a swamp. He could head left to Baltimare or head right to Apple loosa.

Heading back the way he came, despite him probably not ending up liking that choice, is probably the best decision. Though, he would have to walk through the ever free forest once again.

Wait a minute, they have trains?

Logan saw that the map showed a train track connected to all the different locations. Meaning he won't have to go through everfree after all. But he will have to sit on a train full of more sentient horses.
