Close enough. It translates to 'go to the crows.' It's worse than it sounds.
[ Don't whistle at her, Abby, it only feeds her superiority complex. Clarisse gets the doors open wide enough so she can peer out and down the shaft, then frowns. Now she's gotta decide whether to stay put or try and climb out. ]
You're worse than you sound. (a lazy counter, don't call her on it,) Are you between floors right now? (from the way clarisse is holding the phone, she's got an idea of the situation... don't point it down the elevator shaft though okay she doesn't like it)
[ She can see light above her, a way to climb out. Shouldn't be too hard, as long as nothing crazy happens. And preferable to climbing down. She's not scared of heights in particular, but it seems wildly stupid to attempt, even for her. ]
It's this movie about these teenagers who cheat death by surviving a massive disaster, so death starts picking them off one by one in these really fucked up complicated ways. There are like 50 sequels and in the second one a lady gets her head cut off by an elevator.
Can you be careful?? (okay she hates this now jokes are over! clarisse hasn't started yet but abby knows that she's going to, that the decision is already set in stone. and clarisse telling her about teens who die in stupid ways isN'T HELPING)
Stop telling me about stupid movies and concentrate.
[ Clarisse is already shimmying out of the box and grabbing for the cable so she can start to hoist herself up, but she pauses to laugh at Abby's sudden shift in mood. ]
You sound like my mom. And you were totally fine with me getting killed by a "clunk" like two minutes ago, remember?
That's because you weren't actually going to get killed by a clunk. You could get killed by this.
(don't make her confess her true feelings here, okay, she just doesn't want to hear clarisse die suddenly over a voice chat. that would be fucked up.) Take your time.
Taking my time, [ Clarisse says placatingly, as she starts climbing. It's not very hard. She has that extra demigod strength, after all, and she's not worried about falling. Once you've climbed the rock wall at camp and avoided the rolling boulders and the lava, something like a simple elevator shaft seems very doable.
Anyway, it's not until she actually reaches the next floor that she realizes that she's going to have to somehow a) get from the cable to the door and then b) open the door without falling to her death. There's a long pause as she hangs there, trying to visualize it, and then she says, ]
Thank you. (mutter mutter. but she's stopped eating with her spoon halfway to her mouth as she watches the video feed. it's too hard to really see anything, it's just black, and the sounds clarisse makes while she hauls herself up.
and then-)
Wait, (abby snaps, but the feed cuts out instantly and leaves her staring at her own reflection in the fluid. she registers the tight, worried expression on her face with a jolt of embarrassment; she sets the fluid down, and makes herself return to eating. clarisse knows what she's doing, she'll be fine.
but bella is gonna give it to her if she dies.
so for both their sakes, she'd better not do that)
You can be both, (she says innocently, and drops her bowl off into the sink.) Still gonna meet me at gym later, or was that enough excitement for one day?

(clarisse prying the doors apart is cool though, she does it so easily. abby gives her a wolf whistle in return.)

I think you should update that sign to a flat out 'do not use'.

I'm not a shithead, I had to hang up so I could figure out how to get myself out. [ She yawns. ] But, yeah, agreed.
