Where Cyber City 404 is the shining, chrome-plated gem of Improbable Island's northern shore, Pleasantville is its matte-finish sister city in center of the isle. Located across the great inland lake to the north of Improbable Central, Pleasantville is home to the Island's Mutant population, and its people have gone to great lengths to decorate their city in only the sleekest, non-reflective materials.1) Once dull Humans, these fun-loving hedonists have been infused with so much improbability that they've thrown off the shackles of normalcy and embraced a fun and trendy life as only a being with four2) arms can.
From its happening night clubs to its bars that never close, Pleasantville is the party city that never sleeps. Where Improbable Central is all business, and Squat Hole is home to the Island's most intense workaholics, Pleasantville is second only to Kittania in its devotion to doing as little work as possible. The traveler might first think the city has little to recommend it, but stick around. Once you've spent some time here, the place will begin to grow on you.3)
Major attractions in Pleasantville include:
Come ready to stay up all night, because the natives never sleep.7) The annual Strawberry Festival in particular is not to be missed.

Cousjava is a mutant with has several limbs13). One of them, sticking out of him just below his head on the right side, splits into five smaller appendages and is very useful for holding a weapon. He also has another on his left which does not split up, but is in fact extremely long. There are another two coming out of from below his chest, which have suction cups on the end. These help to stop him from falling over, and in fact from moving anywhere at all. He has several large eyes which are good for seeing in the dark, which is useful as he mostly nocturnal. When resting he curls himself up into a cuboidic shape, which some people mistake for a chimney for his red skin colour. This even further confused by the fact he likes to smoke.
