Hmm... a little more common. I do still see more people without them than with them, but it's not so rare that most people would be terribly surprise to see them.

I'll concede that the idea of an afterlife isn't the most unusual thing. But in talking with others here, I've come to the conclusion that most of us come from different worlds.
...an afterlife that is naturally shared between worlds is a much harder concept to accept. So, why us, and why this place? Why did we all die at the same time, and of all the people in all the worlds who could have died, why were we the ones chosen to play this "Reaper's Game"?

[pausing to think that over]
Honestly, that makes me even more certain that they're lying.

[she sighs.]
There are so many questions. It's a little frustrating not to know the answers...
no subject
[frowning.]
So - frustrating is definitely an understatement.
