Annabeth walked into the girls shower room and prepared for her shower after a long day of sparring, planning and lava-wall climbing. She stepped inside the shower and began to wash herself when all of a sudden the water turned searing hot. Annabeth jumped and turned the nozzle so the water became colder, which it did, ice cold.
After about 10 minutes of fighting with the temperature it settled back to the perfect temperature then turned off. What! When Annabeth leaned upward to check for any blockage the water shot out of the shower head will all of the force of a charging Minotaur.
Screaming Annabeth stepped out of the shower with some shampoo still left in her hair and gathered her belongings to leave the bathroom. As she left she saw Thalia enter and warned her about the faulty second shower. The same thing happened when Thalia took a shower as well with all the tempuarture changes and water flow problems. After about twenty minutes Thalia left in a huff.
This was repeated for every girl who entered the bathroom to take a shower.
The next day Nyssa from the Hephaestus cabin checked the pipes but there was nothing wrong with them. When the girls tried to clean themselves again the problems still occurred but in a more severe fashion. Really Will had patents because of the faulty showers.
On the third day of this blight the Athena girls tried to use the sinks to wash but they woul either not work or shot out streams of water pushing the girls away.
Finally they pleaded to the guys to use their bathroom facilities. After many threats and persuading tactics the girls got their wish but the curse seemed to follow them.
The males at camp halfblood walked around perfectly sanitary (to the degree they wished anyway) while the girls were oily, sweaty and dirty. Some of the Aphrodite kids refused to leave their cabin because of their looks. Soon all the perfume at camp was gone and the girls were growing very short tempered and open to any option. The Ares kids were the least affected by this problem since cleanliness wasn't a top priority but even they had limits to what they could stand. The Athena girls came together with the Hephaestus girl to make new bathing tools but they all failed and even the lake wouldn't get them clean.
After a month of these problems they were suddenly fixed. None of the girls stopped to question how this happened. Instead they were just thankful it did and shower two or three time a day for a week trying to get rid of the dirty feeling that had been covering them for so long. Fights even ensued over who got the shower first. So it was no surprise that not one of them saw the Stolls had Percy a large bag of drachmas the day the water came back on.
