Trolls Headcanon: Sick Days in the Techno Tribe

  As I'm sure we all know, Techno Trolls love practically nothing more than to rave the day away... but what if one of them gets sick?

  Here's what I think would've traditionally been for Techno Trolls: the infected Techno has to put on a special glass helmet (which is just like the breathing helmets that non-Techno Trolls wear while underwater) to prevent spreading their disease, and then they can carry on their usual activities. However, once King Trollex came into power, he initiated the Sick Day Protocol: the sick Techno Troll is to be taken to the land portion of a sea cave (an area he's declared Sea Sick Cove), where 2 or more volunteers will nurse the ailing Troll back to health (while wearing their helmets to prevent getting sick themselves). If there are no volunteers (or only one, or more help is needed), then the king will step in.

  Before Trollex's rule, there were two Techno children who did rest while sick: Synth and Laguna. Synth never started due to getting into sports at a young age, giving him an incentive to rest while sick (or injured) so as not to hinder his performance (plus he always felt so awful that he couldn't muster the strength to continue his day). Meanwhile, Laguna homeschooled herself, so to her, a sick day just meant a whole day of reading while curled up in bed. In fact, they might've actually contributed to King Trollex's decision.

  This protocol might extend over to TrollsTopia, where there'd be several kindhearted Trolls happy to help the ill Techno Troll (particularly Holly, who'd probably dote on any ailing Troll, and Branch, who'd readily put the Quarantine Corner of his bunker to good use).

  I also speculate that a couple of Techno diseases would be similar to real-life fish diseases, namely ich, dropsy, and popeye. These Techno diseases would be called Yich and Dropeye. Yich would be identified by loss of energy, itchy white spots all over the body, and difficulty breathing. The symptoms for Dropeye would include loss of color, appetite and energy, as well as back pain, clouded vision, discolored eyes (that feel like they're burning), and maybe behavioral changes.

Also, a super-good friend of mine (MasterClass60) has suggested something interesting about Techno glow: high-fiving a glowing Techno Troll will cause a non-Techno Troll's high-fiving arm to glow for 2 days, and they can launch one-armed Tech-Glow-Doukens.

I'd like to add a few more little side theories: Techno Trolls sleep on sea-sponge beds and use weighted blankets instead of regular ones. The latter is because weighted blankets are not only great for easing stress and anxiety, but they're much less likely to float up to the surface. Synth might've always needed an extra-heavy blanket to keep him in bed and get him to sleep faster. 

  Also, am I the only one who thinks Laguna might wear a sleep mask to bed (along with a neon-blue nightgown with purple or dark-blue dolphins on it)? It would probably be neon-blue, maybe with purple-pink seashells.

  Would it be weird to believe that Techno Trolls regularly put sea mud (perhaps mixed with aloe vera) on their faces (and maybe the rest of their bodies) before going to bed? Not for beauty purposes (though that is nice), but to make themselves look less appetizing to nocturnal sea predators that might try to eat them in their sleep.
