Problem description:

How would I call a proc of a datum?

Such as /datum/blah/blah/proc/Happy()

to another datum such as /datum/blah2/blah2/proc/wee

The same way you would call a proc on anything else.

You will need a reference to an initialized datum.
newdatum
   var
       name = "derp"
   proc
       testname()
           world << name
proc
    test()
        var/newdatum/nd = new/newdatum()
        nd.testname()


mobs, objs, turfs, etc. are all datums.

This is how BYOND defines its class tree:

datum
    atom
        area
        turf
        movable
            obj
            mob

Fun fact!

ATOM refers to:

atom
  area        // A
  turf        // T
  movable
     object   // O
     mob      // M

here's a funner fact

atom
    movable

area //A
    parent_type = /atom
turf //T
    parent_type = /atom
obj  //O
    parent_type = /atom/movable
mob  //M
    parent_type = /atom/movable
