Time - Noon

Members of the Third Division were notoriously good at noticing and reporting things, even the most mundane, forget the most odd. So it would in turn be especially odd to know that a seven foot tall piglet, bright pink as a newborn babe save for a large green crest on it's forehead, little beady eyes staring directly ahead as it verily pranced through the hallways of the Third Division.

On and on it pranced, somehow deftly avoiding every passing Shinigami as it finally entered the great library of the Third Division, where it maintained it's nonchalant prance, flat nose snuffling as though truffles were in the air.

It was a relatively normal day at the Third Division. Which in and of itself, was odd given the Fukutaichou's less than normal acquaintances. Alas, there was no Kiba nor Kurisuna to interrupt the steady stream of tasks Sumie had to take on for the day. Inventory, thankfully, had already been completed. It was the first thing Sumie got done everyday for a few reasons. Partly because it took the longest and the morning seemed to be the only time she wasn't behind on her dual duties, but also because it needed to be done so certain other things could be done; like writing out fine notices, for instance.

That was what Sumie was busying herself with now. She could have had any number of people do it, but the Fukutaichou tended to assign other people cleaning duties or more menial tasks. Record keeping had to be spot on and inventory and financial issues fell into that category for the woman. If the records weren't pristine, a simple enough task in theory, the Third Division, who relied on information as their main resource, surely couldn't be trusted with more important wells of data. There was also the fact that she couldn't afford any increased scrutiny of the Third, or even Fourth, Division for the sake of others. So yes, perfection was key.

Still, it was a tedious task for one such as Sumie. She wasn't necessarily a free spirit, but she did hate being confined to a workspace. It was stifling. She drew a short breath of boredom and exhaled in an equally toned sigh as she looked up to make sure the rest of the division was going about its business as normal and to make sure a certain black feathered demon wasn't on the loose. Both criteria were checked off her list rather quickly, unfortunately, there was something of an... elephant, in the room.

Or in this case, a pig.

"Clearly I have fallen asleep," Sumie said aloud to no one in particular, because of course, this was some bizarre dream brought on by the dreariness of work. She imagined that at that very moment, while she watched the pig sniff the air, that she was back in the realm of the awake and working, just drooling away on her files. She sighed again, this time more exasperated than bored, then approached the pig.

"Excuse me... sir. Can I help you find something?"

What else was she going to say to it?

As the one the oversized piglet sought approached, the moderately sized pink creature belched a delighted squeal before lurching forward, pressing it's fat round head against Sumie's leg and rubbing a tight circle around her before beginning once again to snuffle at the ground. With a particularly loud snortsnuffle whilst posed directly before the Shinigami, the piglet suddenly whirled away before prancing off as it had entered, leaving behind it a questionably grown truffle with a wide cap, upon which sat a small pouch. The truffle, Sumie would surely learn, would come up off the ground with the pouch, and in fact would promptly fade away, leaving only the pouch and the sight of the piggie's wiggling spring-tailed bottom waddling away as proof the piglet had been present at all.

Yes, it was most definitely a dream, Sumie thought as she watched the curious turn of events. Though, she begrudgingly admitted that the physically contact was pretty well simulated by her mind's imagination. Perhaps she bumped something in her sleep in the waking world. Regardless, she took the pouch from its position and found the gold inside. Perhaps the pig was paying a library fine. That made sense, didn't it? Asleep or awake, Sumie felt she had work to do. Again she sighed, this time in resignation, before returning to her work, which apparently had invaded the former sanctuary of her dreams. She rather preferred the giant pig.
