You can bring logs to sic with tee: "$ sic ... | tee -a <channel-name>" which will append logs to the file "<channel-name>".

And you can bring output multiplexing to ii with tail: "$ cd $IRC_DIR; tail -f */out */*/out". Then you will have messages from all channels, and you switch channel, the path to the channel will be displayed:

Code:
==> irc.freenode.net/#something/out <==
2017-05-22 23:24 <josuah> this is some channel
2017-05-22 23:25 <dude> oh, is it?

==> unix.chat/#unix/out <==
2017-05-22 23:26 <josuah> now THIS is a channel
2017-05-22 23:27 <dude> now I believe you

==> irc.freenode.net/#something/out <==
2017-05-22 23:29 <josuah> dude: are you 'dude' from #unix@unix.chat?

This is a standard tail feature. :)
