From Dust Till Dawn

From Dust Till Dawn is a Dust shop located in the City of Vale, that was featured in the first episode of RWBY. It's owned by an unnamed, elderly man who reappears in Episode 16.

Ruby Rose
Roman Torchwick and his henchmen hold up the small shop during the first episode. The shopkeeper doesn't put up a fight and offers to give them Lien, but Roman orders his men to steal the Dust instead. During the robbery, one of the men notices Ruby Rose reading a magazine and tells her to put her hands up, which she doesn't hear because of her headphones.

When the man eventually gets her attention and Ruby notices that she is in the middle of a robbery, she attacks her assailant. Another henchman pulls a gun on her, but she attacks and knocks the man and herself through the front window. Roman orders the rest of his men to attack, but they are all defeated by Ruby. Roman quickly makes his escape, and Ruby checks to make sure the shopkeeper is alright before pursuing Roman.

Despite Ruby's skill and the intervention of Glynda Goodwitch, Roman still manages to escape with the Dust thanks to the aid of his accomplice, Cinder Fall.

Merchandise
A shop's windows indicate that Dust, crystals, books, tools, cartridges, and scales are sold at the shop. The counter contains a glass display case containing Dust crystals. On the walls are a set of tubes containing different colors of powdered Dust, which can be extracted by attaching a smaller cylindrical container to the bottom of the tube. A look around the store shows an assortment of glass jars and containers, likely meant for containing Dust. They also offer magazines and a newspaper called "Vale Times."
