[Ochako didn't say anything about talking and mingling. She just said people tend to spill their guts when they've had good food and drink - you hear a lot of idle talk just passing by, eavesdropping, or being the one who serves. People tend to ignore those of a working class - they're just...heh, extras in a scene - and a little half-pint like herself? Well, what sort of threat could she be, right?

However, she knows that it's better to ask around for info than to just wait around and hope a golden egg falls into your lap. Ochako's always been proactive, and being so personable and friendly definitely works in her favor - people tend to want to help you out if you're nice, polite, and friendly. Or if you help them first - you scratch my back etc.]

I'm afraid I haven't, no... Not yet, anyway. And I don't suppose you've seen a young boy with curly, green hair and freckles, have you? Or maybe a blond boy with spiky hair and deep, red eyes? You, uh...you can't miss him. [It is impossible to miss Bakugou.] I...actually am looking for a lot of people.

[Nineteen, excluding herself, to be exact!] ...Haven't seen any one of them, yet.
