A typical scene in Monstro City, with Scott's monster Erty pictured bottom left.
So, what do you want to tell me about Moshi Monsters?
Scott: Some of the stuff is just about what I do and about my monster mostly.
Tell me what Moshi Monsters is.
Scott: It’s sort of a game on the computer where you adopt your own pet monster and try and look after it. If you don’t look after it enough, it will probably die.
Helen: It will need some more garden, won’t it?
Scott: Stop it.
Helen: I want to do it too.
Helen, what are Moshi Monsters?
Helen: Em… they’re monsters and you have to choose the colour for the monster.
What else?
Helen: I don’t know.
Scott: I’m saving up rox for a new house.
What are rox?
Scott: Rox are sort of money in Monstro City.
How do you earn money?
Scott: At the start, they give you a choice – either cake or 200 free rox.
How do you get rox after that?
Scott: I usually start by playing the ice cream game or the engine game and I also sometimes… If you go to Dodgy Deals you need to get 90 per cent payback and you get rox for an old piece of furniture.
What is your Moshi Monster called?
Scott: Erty, that’s what I call him.
What does he look like?
Scott: He’s a sort of catsuma in turquoise and blue.
What’s a catsuma?
Scott: The rabbit one.
Helen: Number two was my choice.
What do you want to talk about, Helen?
Helen: I don’t know.
Scott: Then, well… What’s the next question?
Tell me about moshlings.
Scott: When you’re a member, you can get moshlings without buying a plant. So, for example, you play Super Moshis – in mission one, you get Lady GooGoo and in mission two, you get Whirly and in mission three dot dot dot question mark.
So moshlings are sort of pets?
Scott: Yes, they’re sort of pets.
What’s the point of Moshi Monsters?
Scott: You never win unless you get to Level 3040.
What happens then?
Scott: Then you’re in level 3040.
So you just keep playing forever?
Scott: Well, that’s sort of what they want you to do.
Why?
Scott: So they can have membership for a really long time and membership makes you get to some place, like the volcano where the Super Moshis HQ is. Anything else you can do when you’re a member? You can be a Super Moshi, you can get to Horrods. Anything else? There’s a shop called the Moshi Shop where you get things in real life.
Helen: The next question is about Lady GooGoo.
Who is Lady GooGoo?
Scott: She’s a moshling you collect.
Helen: I don’t want to talk about Moshis.
Scott: Shall I tell you?
Helen: No.
So, it’s all about making money?
Scott: Rox?
No, in real life.
Scott: Lady GooGoo is the world-famous crier, even worse than Helen.
Helen: She’s even badder than me.
