Lyra let go of Octavia, clapped her hands together, and began rubbing them deviously. She had the look on her face that mischief was to be made, and they would be up to no good. The musician brought up one leg and bent it so her ankle was resting on her opposite thigh and she leaned forward ever so slightly. The tools were there, now just came the plan and execution.
"That's good. Something we can work with. Together that sounds like it could be a head cold. Runny nose, watery eyes, puffy face. Cat hair will be easy to get. Maybe I can ask Rarity if I can vacuum hers or something. Juniper shouldn't be that hard either. Allergies with cold-like symptoms are great for faking because cold medicine won't do anything. Your core temperature won't go up, but if you're all puffy and snotty your forehead should feel a bit warm too. You won't pass a thermometer."
Lyra leaned back and stared at the ceiling for a moment as she thought up other ideas. "If you can act a little, and your parents won't be too suspicious, you might be able to pull off a stomach bug. You want to aim for nausea, not the other one. Coming up, not going through. Definitely not pain. Pain can bring about a visit to the doctors. The other option you're still safe to travel if you're loaded up on Pepto. Nausea works because of the inherent motion sickness that'll come with it. The only problem with faking is you need props."
"Whatever you pick, I can coach you through it. It isn't even Winter yet so we can even practice." Lyra gave Octavia an encouraging grin. She'd help her however she could. She might get in trouble, but this was a good cause! "If we pull this off there'll be rules you'll HAVE to follow. Whats worse than getting caught trying to play hooky is getting caught playing hooky."
