"Kiki" is a character in the web published Sluggy Freelance comic strip that is popular with many RinkChat regulars. "Unipeg", as she goes by in the RinkWorks Message Forum, is "Kiki" in RinkChat, and on this particular occasion, well, she died. Many of the lines in this transcript require familiarity with the comic strip to appreciate.

In the Users Online list, next to Kiki's name, I put "[dead]".
