ALL POSTSWhich Red Lotus member had the worst prison.
<p>For Me, it has to be Ming-Hua by a land slide. She was suspended over an ACTIVE volcano with scorching hot temperatures, and for 13 YEARS. That is hell. Though, I got to admit, P'Li's prison was pretty horrible too.

<p>I meant that Ming-Hua actually <i>looks</i> dehydrated when she escapes, what with her eyes sunken like that.

<p>I know, I'm saying that perhaps the reason why P'Li isn't dehydrated is that they gave her enough to drink. Unlike with Ming-Hua, they have no real reason not to, & if she dies, they don't get the information they want.

<p>Honestly, worst prison has to be between Ming-Hua and P'Li. All of the main Red Lotus characters were isolated to some extent, but as mentioned, only Ming-Hua and P'Li were subjected to temperature extremes. Ming-Hua has worst of all, IMO, because a key life necessity has to be limited to her to successfully keep her contained.

<p>Well, yeah; but withholding water from a firebender in an ice cell would be both pointless and <i>futile</i>.

<p>You said hypothermia causes dehydration, I said the reason she doesn't have it is probably because she got enough water to drink, though I'd say that'd be quite a bit more than could likely be obtained by melting things in her cell, especially since her firebending was so weakened.

<p>Now I'm confused, because I don't recall ever having said that hypothermia causes dehydration.
</p><p>I did say that Ming-Hua would be suffering from the effects of both long-term <i>hyper</i>thermia <i>and</i> dehydration (and would have less control of her situation than P'Li would of hers, and thus have to weather more of the damage). But that's...significantly different.

I guess hyperthermia & hypothermia look really similar when you're reading through a thread.

<p>I'd say Ming-Hua; at any moment, the prison could break and send her plunging into a slow, boiling death

<p>Oh, not at all, it would actually be quite quick, & she'd be dead before she even hit the lava. It's actually kind of a wonder that burning, poisonous gas hasn't already killed her by obliterating the inside of her lungs.

(Edited by Neo Bahamut)
<p>Oh, really? That might be even worse
